Slimming Paint (a.k.a. Redesigning Painting and Compositing)

Slimming Paint is a Paint team project to re-implement the Blink<->cc picture recording API to work in terms of a global display list rather than a tree of cc::Layers (~aka GraphicsLayer in Blink terminology). It will result in a drastic simplification of the way that composited layers are represented in Blink and cc, which in turn will yield improved performance, correctness and flexibility.

To get a sense of the extent of this rewrite, one side-effect will be the deletion of the code in Sourcecore/rendering/compositing/.
